So i wanted to discuss this upcoming armour buff.
This will bring much more good than bad in my opinion.
Pros
More usage of Repair tools.
More triage nanohives.
More reason to get the Wiyrkomi nanite injectors. (80% armour back upon revive)
More diversity.
Shields are now equal to armour in usefulness.
The other 2 completely useless armour mods, are now useful.
Heavies are now a force to be reckon with, but will still be very slow, but can now "tank" like they should have always been able too.
Gallente scouts get a stealth buff. Scouts will take any buff they can get.
Caldari are now not the only race that excels at what it should (besides minmatar with their speed) Amarr will now be better, along with the Gallente.
Cons
More mass driver usage, hopefully not too much.
More grenades.
QQ on the forums about how heavies are OP because of the new balanced armour,
I can just see it now. "Heavies are so hard to kill nerf nerf nerf".
Anyways if you see anymore pros/cons feel free to add them in

Agreed, i was just using the term gallente because they use armour more, and more people would understand what i mean |

Agreed, i was just using the term gallente because they use armour more, and more people would understand what i mean No, what I meant was your use of the term "scout." People are using Scout as synonymous with the light frame, but there is a difference. Of course you meant Gallente, Minmatar only gets one low which isn't enough for any armor tanking.
Ohh, i get it. Thanks for clearing that up |

It's only good for armor tankers the other half see it as something bad including my self. Buffs and nerfs only work out for certain people unless something is just completely broken and really needs a buff. That's how it always is.
Well of course it isn't good for shield tankers, but there still going to be great. Armour being good also, doesn't change that |

less movement speed penalties now. So there great. |
